"You mean, this shop is now owned by your aunt Qiao Banxian? It has nothing to do with Cui Xiuxiu who eloped?" The lady, who was obviously a regular customer, asked in surprise.
"After Sister Xiuxiu was abandoned by that heartless man, she felt embarrassed to deal with you, so she only wanted to make some creams in the back, and she could also concentrate on researching better skin care formulas to make you more beautiful in the future! So I opened this shop
It was transferred to my aunt. My aunt doesn't like doing business, but I like making friends (making money) the most, so I came to the front to help my aunt run the shop...Oh! I'm so worried!"
The little man sighed with an old-fashioned look, making the ladies and ladies present burst into laughter!
"You are such a cute kid! Wrap these up for me! How much money are they in total?" Madam pointed at several items in an enthusiastic manner, and then looked at Qiao Xiaofu teasingly, "Can you settle accounts? Don't.
It’s a loss, your aunt will deal with you later!”
"I just learned arithmetic from my grandfather, don't worry, I can calculate clearly!" Qiao Xiaofu agreed crisply, helped pack the items neatly, took out the abacus and started counting.
Several ladies and young ladies were whispering to each other.
"Who was her grandfather?"
"That's Mr. Dongfang. It is said that he was the crown prince and tutor that His Majesty was interested in. Mr. Dongfang was not happy and resigned..."
"The prince and tutor don't even do anything, but they come to be a foster father for an Orion?"
"Isn't that just fate? Banxian Renqiao cured Mrs. Dongfang's leg disease..."
"Ah! This is a big deal..."
"Otherwise, do you think a girl from a peasant family can follow a great Confucian scholar like Mr. Dongfang?!"
"She is really a lucky girl, and her name is good, Qiao Xiaofu..." The ladies and ladies all had admiration in their eyes.
Qiao Xiaofu just pretended not to hear, and concentrated on the abacus while counting in a crisp voice: "This one costs one tael of silver a bottle, this one costs five hundred coins, this one is more expensive, and the one with ginseng in it costs three taels of silver."
...To erase the change, you can just give me six taels of silver!"
"Oh! An eight-year-old girl can still erase fractions! How amazing..." Madam said as she smiled at the ladies and ladies next to her. Her smile was so exaggerated that it made the other ladies and ladies laugh too!
"Then I want this..."
"I want these..."
Everyone took action one after another, Qiao Xiaofu was busy in an orderly manner, and soon, several orders were completed!
Within a few days, the reputation of Qiao's cosmetics shop spread throughout Xing'an County. Cui Xiuxiu not only relied on this shop to support her children, but also made the man who gave up on her regret it...
This is a later topic, so let’s not mention it for now.
When it was time for dinner, Qiao Xiaofu and Cui Xiuxiu closed the shop together. Qiao Xiaofu asked Cui Xiuxiu to go over for dinner and settle accounts.
As expected, there were sweet and sour meat and sweet and sour fish on the dinner table.
Chun Niang actually has good cooking skills. Not only does it taste good, but it also looks pleasing to the eye!
While everyone was praising her, Cui Xiuxiu said casually: "Sister Chun Niang, how come your craftsmanship is so good?"
Chun Niang lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.
Only then did Cui Xiuxiu realize that she had said the wrong thing.
When Chun Niang's former man was still alive, naturally she couldn't often eat such dishes. Later, a secret door was created, and customers often asked Chun Niang to go to the restaurant to buy food and drinks to take home.
After seeing a lot and eating a lot, Chun Niang has skillful hands, so she will naturally do it.
"I'm sorry..." Cui Xiuxiu apologized.
Chun Niang raised her head and forced a smile and said: "It doesn't matter. I did it myself, so I can't pretend that I haven't done it. Who hasn't done something that has no choice but to do it?"
He spoke freely, but there were already tears in his eyes.
These words were heartbreaking, and they penetrated directly into Cui Xiuxiu's heart.
Cui Xiuxiu has to give birth to a child by herself to support her. In this era, how much criticism will a woman face when she gives birth to a child out of wedlock? Isn’t it just a last resort?!
The atmosphere suddenly calmed down.
Qiao Xiaofu looked at this and that, without saying a word. He just put a piece of crispy sweet and sour pork in each bowl for his brother and sister, and whispered: "This is delicious."
Qiao Erlu worked hard and pretended not to see anything.
Qiao Sanshou really didn't feel anything strange and ate it very sweetly: "It's delicious! I'll eat it again tomorrow!"
The innocent children and carefree words made the atmosphere a little better.
Qiao Chu's voice was as calm as ever: "Eat."
Everyone started to eat without a fuss.
After the meal, Mrs. Dongfang was going to take her three children to sleep there. Qiao Chu asked Qiao Xiaofu to stay. She looked at Cui Xiuxiu and Chun Niang who were in a depressed mood, and then looked at Qiao Xiaofu: "How is your income today?"
When Qiao Xiaofu heard this, he immediately smiled and took out a small account book: "Today, we sold a total of more than forty taels of silver. The account book is here..."
"More than forty taels?" Cui Xiuxiu was really shocked: when she opened a shop before, she could sell three to five taels a day, which was considered a very good performance. Sometimes she only sold more than one tael a day, but Qiao Xiaofu could sell it in a day.
More than forty taels?!
Qiao Chu was also shocked: Ordinary country people can live comfortably for a year with so much money!
Chun Niang's eyes widened even more: Is it so easy to make money in business?
If I had known that this was the case, why would I still be in the flesh and blood business that I couldn’t stand up? How great would it be to just make these things and sell them!
"Hmm..." Qiao Xiaofu was afraid that everyone would not believe it, so he took out a money bag from his arms, and the pieces of silver and small banknotes he took out were more than forty taels in total!
"Awesome! I'll be a good boy..." Cui Xiuxiu murmured, looking at Qiao Xiaofu as if she were looking at a monster.
Now she finally completely believes that Qiao Xiaofu can really do business: Qiao Chu and his family are all monsters!
One will ask the gods to cure his illness.
His kung fu is so high that even a wild bear can't withstand his fist.
Even for an eight-year-old baby, making money is as easy as eating and drinking...
"What items were sold? How much did they cost?" Qiao Chu asked again.
Qiao Xiaofu was stunned for a moment, looked at Cui Xiuxiu, and accurately reported the types and quantities of the things sold today.
Cui Xiuxiu was in a hurry, asking for pen, ink, paper, inkstone and abacus: "Wait a minute, I'll do the math..."
After some calculations, Cui Xiuxiu's face turned red: "The cost of the raw materials is eight taels of silver..."
In other words, with a turnover of forty-three taels, after excluding the raw materials of eighty-taels, the gross profit is still thirty-five taels?!
Qiao Chu knocked on the table: "Excluding Xiuxiu's wages and Xiaofu's wages, and then deducting the rent of the shop, the net profit will not be less than thirty-three taels of silver. According to the share ratio of the contract we signed before, Xiuxiu, in addition to wages
, we can also divide it into ten taels of silver, Xiaofu and I add up to twenty-three taels, right?"
